A new school system is being formed to oversee the Detroit Public Schools' lowest-performing institutions as part of a broader effort to improve education in the state, Gov. Snyder announced Monday. The public-private partnership involves the struggling Detroit district as well as Eastern Michigan University. He said the schools would have a year to prepare and the authority would oversee them starting in the 2012-2013 school year. Snyder says the pilot program, called the Education Achievement System, could later be expanded statewide.
